We started the second day at Evian Resort with breakfast at Restaurant “La Table” in Hotel Ermitage. I always look forward to hotel breakfasts because they are a really proper meal and we take the time to enjoy it. At La Table, breakfast was an open buffet with a sumptuous spread of cold and warm… Read More »

In the afternoon, I dutifully went to “Thermes Evian” to be spoilt by the Evian signature spa experience – ninety minutes of heavenly bliss including a facial and whole body “water treatment”. My therapist used the Swiss brand of patented cosmetics called “After the Rain”. They contain the so-called “atr complex” with protective, preventive, moisturizing… Read More »

I first took a stroll in the park surrounding the hotel before going to the reception to pick up the key to my room. It was on the first floor offering a stunning view of the Lake Leman (or Lake Geneva as the people in Geneva like to call it). Large French windows let in… Read More »

After Amsterdam, I was invited by Evian Resort to spend three days at their Ermitage Hotel. I was also pleased to be able to invite a friend (who took the pictures) along. Let me share with you my experience in this resort town (famous above all for its Evian water), starting with an outfit post! Our rooms were not ready when we arrived, so we walked around the beautiful… Read More »

You cannot go wrong with the Basics – just what Coco Chanel had in mind when she first introduced the essential little black dress. The evening in Amsterdam can be chilly, so I put on a Perfecto jacket over my exposed shoulders. I was shod with a pair of closed-toe sandals which were so practical for walking around… Read More »

Amsterdam, what a charming city! The architecture, canals and flowers bring such a cozy atmosphere. However, it was still quite cold for a summer day. I wore my Perfecto from Mango over my denim shirt. I inaugurated also my short skirt in black that I got from Zara. I wanted a casual yet sophisticated outfit for the long day of walking and sightseeing that awaits us. Wearing: Mango/Perfecto jacket, Forever21/Denim shirt, H&M/Rings, Zara/Shoes… Read More »

No wonder people retire at “La Côte d’Azur” – the weather is so pleasant. The mild mornings are just perfect for a stroll by the sea or to discover little treasures in the street markets. With my friends, we enjoyed the afternoons to the full, sunning on the beach or shopping in Nice. At the end of the day, the gentle wind provides a great feel to my new outfit! The dress is from the Fall-Winer collection of Lovers and Friends (a brand I discovered some time ago… Read More »
